Hi everyone! 😊My name is Imola, I'm a writer/poet and tree planter. This will be my second time joining the program. Last year, I didn't run but walked due to my already demanding job, but this time I won't be working, so I can dust off my running shoes (or maybe get new ones😅). I'm originally from Hungary, but recently moved to Norway (Anyone in the southern area?😊)

Last year I got a cool alter ego nickname from Erika, but I can't remember what it was 😭

This was amazing! Thank you💛

I'd love to know that, too! I was looking into it and then it just disappeared. :( 

I finitely need more relaxation and connection with like minded people. It's the two things I miss the most living on the road, as I don't travel around because I want to, but following job sites so I go where I can/have to.

Hi Salties!

So lovely to read everyone's mantra and why's. It's so inspiring.

My why to do this program is to build more strength and endurance so I do better at work (I have a physical job in forestry) and to feel better in my skin. Moving my body in different forms always makes me feel great. 

My mantra is "to be present with what is." I have the tendency to be hard on myself by comparing my self to previous days or others, then beat myself up if I'm not doing as expected, and push myself beyond limits. I want to learn to be able to accept whatever is that day, and not feel bad about it, regardless if that day my best is only 40% of what I could do the day before. I AM doing it, and in itself it's enough. 

hey, I'm Hungarian but I'm living in France

So great to see that you found this place for you, where you can feel so free to do anything without the need to impress others. It's inspiring. ❤️ I'm still working on this, but you put an example with opening up about it.
